Salamat, Seat No. 57A. ==> from JM!

Ngayon na ang alis ko. Sa tagal ng panahon na ginugol ko para sa desisyon kong 'to, ngayon na ang araw. Masakit pero hanggang dito na lng ang kaya ko.

Tinawag na ang mga pasaherong sasakay patungo sa ibang bansa.

Dala ang gamit ko, sabi nga ni John Lapuz, "Diz iz it!"

Pasakay na ako sa eroplano. Eroplanong magdadala sa akin sa ibang mundo. Malayo sa kinagisnan ko. Malayo sa mga naranasan ko.

Mabuti na cguro ung ganito. Malayo. Nakakalungkot na nakakakaba dahil magsisimula uli ako. Panibagong pakikipagsapalaran. Panibagong buhay.

Pagtingin ko sa aking ticket, Seat 57B. Sayang, isa na lng, ako na ung nasa may bintana. Paboritong lugar ko pa naman un. Ok lang, ganun tlga.

Pagkalagay ko ng aking gamit sa itaas, umupo na ako at kinuha ko na agad ang headset ng eroplano para makinig ng music. Wala sa mood para makipagsosyalan sa kung cnu man ang aking makakatabi. Sana pipi para d ko na cia kelangan intindihin.

"Excuse me." sabi ng isang pasahero habang tinapik niya ang aking balikat.

Malamang ito na ung makakatabi ko. Mukha namang tahimik at magalang. Ok na rin cguro to.

"Sorry." sagot ko. At padahan akong umurong para makadaan cia.

Pagkaupo niya, ginawa nia din ang ginawa ko. Mabuti para d na din ako maistorbo. Ng biglang,

"First time mo?" tanong niya bago ko pa man ibalik ang headset sa tenga ko.

"Hindi. Pang anim na." sagot ko. Nakalimutan ko na din ung una kong naramdaman pagkasakay ko doon.

"Ah. First time ko. Bakit ka aalis?"

"Tapos na ang buhay ko rito. Wala na akong babalikan. Ikaw?"

"Baligtad naman tayo.Babalikan ko ang nakaraan ko."

Baligtad nga kami. Nakakatuwang isipin, iba't-ibang pasahero, iba't-ibang mga dahilan kung bakit aalis.

Lumipad na ang eroplano. Kasabay ng huli kong pagtingin sa nakaraan ko.

Hindi na ako babalik.

"Magpapakasal na kami." sagot nia ulit nung napansin niang natulala ako.

Napangiti na lng ako sa sinagot nia.Naisip ko, ako kaya, maranasan ko ung ngiti ng mga mata niya? Maranasan ko kaya ung tuwa ng pagkakwento niya?

Malamang, hindi. Nasa magkaiba kami ng estado sa buhay.

Naalala ko kung bakit ako lilipad. Tama nga cguro ang desisyon ko.

Dalawang buwan na ang nakaraaan. Maulan. Kausap ko cia sa may waiting shed.

"Hanggang dito na lang tayo." malungkot niang sinabi sa akin.

"Hindi ba ako karapat dapat na ipagtanggol?"

Hindi na cia sumagot. Hindi na niya kailangan sumagot dahil doon pa lang, alam ko na.
Dahan-dahan akong bumalik ng bahay habang tahimik na umiiyak.
Tapos na. Hindi ko man lang alam kung paano kami umabot sa ganun.

Nakatulog pala ako. Pagkagising ko, hinahanda na ang kakainin namin.

"Ang sarap ng tulog mo. Nakakainggit ka." sabi ng katabi ko.

"Pagod lang siguro." habang nakangiti kong sinagot ang sinabi nia.

Hindi naman ako dapat kainggitan.

Limang oras na pala ang nakalipas. Malapit na kaming makarating. Naghanda na din ako sa panibagong haharapin.

Hindi na ako babalik. PInakawalan ko na ang bahaging iyon ng buhay ko.

Pagkadating namin sa airport, nag ayos na ako ng gamit para lumabas. Nung lahat ay nakalabas na at palabas na ng room para salubungin ang mga tao, napansin ko si Seat No. 57A.

Nakangiti. Tinungo ko ang dahilan ng kanyang ngiti. Mukhang iyon ang kanyang mapapangasawa.

Salamat, Seat No. 57A. Dahil sayo, may pag asa pa cguro ako.

"Hindi ba ako karapat dapat na ipagtanggol?" naalala ko ang nasabi ko nung gabing yun.

Tumalikod ako. Tinungo ang labasan. Baka dito ko makita ang hinahanap ko.

Hindi na ako babalik.

SOS

Sometimes I wonder what the heck I am doing right now and for the succeeding days that follows. Sometimes I do get lost and loose myself every once in a while. And afterwards it is all still the same. No change. No purging. No vivid realizations. All that is left of me are pieces of broken shards pieced together sloppily with crazy glue. Highly volatile and most likely to cave in.

Please whisk me away... Anywhere. Somewhere.

I am standing on the edge. Leaning.

Pililla, Rizal. 2007 Birthday


The light of the morning sun
filters into the little room.

The memories of children playing
traipses about, climbing up the ceiling
and running around the room.

I see you, gazing outside.

Where have you gone?
What have you learned?

Bah!


I woke up with two distinct headaches in my head. Just right above my temple. Hiding underneath a blanket of my thick and unruly hair.

I was quite a moody person actually that day. I can feel the jolly jolly mood prancing around me, scattering petals of spring flowers stowed in a ribbon-clad basket, freshly picked from the highest mountain peaks. As I burn every petal with this devious mood. I feel like I am growing horns.

Luck has decided to hide around corners of halls and underneath staircases. As battalions of annoyances marched forth towards me. I got a stick of cigarette and lit up. Inhaling and exhaling the sweet smoke filled with nicotine. Intoxicating? yes. Satisfying? yes.

My eyes followed the stream of smoke coming from my cigarette as it led my eyes to the unfailing brilliance of the moon. The sky is clear. The moon almost full.

"That's why!", I thought. Answers flooded my mind.

Snapshots # 4


Shapes, Texture, Color, People.

The things that caught my eye during the holy week 2007. It may be far-off from the season, but I still like these shots. I never went out the house for the longest time, that's why. And the only time I went out, these are the only shots that I took. No need to be spiritual with my photos. I did enough of that at home. Thanks to my 1MP PDA camera.

Geez! I need a new camera.... Click on the picture for more photos...

Reflection


Alone together in the darkness, I learned the meaning of your tears.

You saw zooming comets and swirling galaxies in your journey to find peace.

Tears pour down from a clear blue sky. Someday they'll change into a smile.

Sleep. For tomorrow you slay your demons.

Snapshots # 3


Antipolo. Amici. Starbuck's. Yellow Cab. Flights of fancy, exploits in a whim.

Because everyone else is boring. And because you are different.

Where do we go now? In our world of pure elation.

Bolinao madness


It's a difficult thing to fight away paranoia.

I had paranoia with my settings therefore, I overdid my shots. I am not proud of my shots because I know that I could have done better. Although, I will still share these pictures because it was one hell of a trip. I did enjoy my trip there and these people are cool models.
